Nice TRY ! But somehow I WISH that people STOP RIPPPING other artist's style .such as this one ..This is pure Asley Wood !! Why don't you come up with your own Style man...this Org is all about that !!! serriously ! Use your skills to do other stuff.....

Wow Deltron talking about useless posts, doesnt matter if this style is from someone else or not, as an artist you have to beginn somewhere.
liangSZ I think this piece is really great work, thus i have to agree with rawr about the hand, the thumb looks a bit too long in my opinion
Although you should consider to do a bit more with the backround, then again I really like the image overall!

The rendering is good. You've used nice colours and the lighting is well done. two things that stuck out to me was that the arm on the left seems to go into the robots head, rather than around it. Maybe show the hand coming around the side so it makes more sense. Secondly her hand on the right is either awkwardly twisted all the way around, or the thumb is on the wrong side of the hand.

Its just two things that took my attention away from everything else. Fix'em and it would be a great peice .

Thanks

edit: fyi, only see one image, the girl with the robot. Did'nt know there supposed to be multple pictures.

I also DON'T think they look like Ashley Wood's work. (which by the way his work is similar of many other artists). Even if you are compared to his styles thats fine. There is very little that can be done in styles that has not already been done before.

I really like the palette in both pieces. Very nice split complementary color scheme.

Subject matter-wise, delton's got a point, despite the manner in which he stated it. The 'iron giant' theme is pretty old. I was joking with my girlfriend the other day that anyone wishing to get a full page in Spectrum simply had to paint a retro robot because a few new ones turn up every year, but I believe there's some truth to it. Anyway, it's your own 'extra-curricular' art so it's up to you to paint whatever you want. And yes, it's absolutely true you need to start somewhere. Hell, I remember copying old Shredder drawings from the TMNT graphic novels in junior high.

But just consider this for any work you wish to put in your portfolio, and I really don't mean the following to be insulting: Why use something that's been done by other people? If you get work based on it, you're only getting work the original artist was either too busy or too good to do. And do you really want to be known as the artist that gets sloppy seconds?
While it's true we all draw inspiration from other artists, I believe there is plenty to be done in pushing style and subject matter, or a lot of us are going to be out of a job.
